Description

When we are at our best, the sun seems to shine brighter, and there's a bounce in our step. We also have moments that feel quite the opposite. To address the ups and downs of life and work, this module explores inner critics, self-compassion and how to practice empathy for yourself so that you can be ready to lavish it on the children you serve. 

Discover:

• that being human means having an inner critic

• strategies for building self-compassion and acceptance

• why self-empathy is a critical element in teaching empathy
